Waiting for His return, His glorious return.

Walk humbly and change the world. John 1:1-5 Micah 6:8

John 1:1-5 (ERV)
Christ Comes to the World
1 Before the world began, the Word was there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was there with God in the beginning. 3 Everything was made through him, and nothing was made without him. 4 In him there was life, and that life was a light for the people of the world. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not defeated it.

Micah 6:8 (NIV)
8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Darkness is the absence of light. Everyone, even scientists and atheists, agrees on this.

The light is life. In Him there was life, and that life was a light for the people of the world. It’s there for us, and we don’t have to live in darkness, so if we are living in darkness, it’s because we don’t want the light.
Maybe our eyes have adjusted and we’ve evolved to be low/no light creatures. The darkness has not defeated the light, but it’s not for the lack of trying.

Why do we have so many “issues” today? Because we’re fumbling around in the darkness.

Imagine if we’d been living like Christ has called us? Matthew 25:35 “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”

You, me, us – not an elected officials patronage hire. Not a bureaucrat sitting on their pension you pay for. Not an underpaid social worker you barely pay for. You. Imagine who’d be marginalized today. Not many. It does take a village, and it takes the right kind of village.

Christ is the light and the darkness will not defeat it. Walk humbly with your Lord and savior. As you’ve done for the least of these you’ve done for me.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences.
I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving.
